MADONNA: FORGET ABOUT THE GRAMMYS

When Madonna posts a photo of herself on social media, you just KNOW there’s a very specific reason. It’s not impulsive. We’re analyzing this recent pic to figure out what she’s thinking. First of all, it LOOKS like she’s not wearing makeup – and looks darn good. Also she wants you to note that the injection induced “facial swelling” that caused an uproar at the Grammys and had her griping about misogyny and ageism, is gone. We’re not sure about the shaggy red hair – is it real or a wig? Only time will tell…

MADONNA AND BOB THE DRAG QUEEN ARE GOING TO FLORIDA

Madonna has a problem. She’s kicking off her Celebration tour this summer and as usual she has a few stops planned in Florida. That normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but the state recently enacted some new laws which basically ban drag performances, and Madonna’s opening act is none other than Bob The Drag Queen! Bob is a gender bending artist whose big break was on RuPaul’s Drag Race. A tour insider says that Madonna isn’t one to go along with the law, although event organizers have suggested she REPLACE her opening act for her Florida shows. Madonna’s refusing to budge, so her shows COULD get shut down or the venues where she’s performing get fined, or even lose their liquor licenses…

MADONNA: CONCERT OR FASHION SHOW?

Madonna just announced her upcoming world tour celebrating 40 plus years as a musical icon and the show will be a fashionista’s dream. Prepare to get an eyeful of Madonna. On past tours Madonna would rely on one designer to create costumes – this time she’s spreading the love and plans on using as many designers as she can get. Her longtime collaborator, Jean Paul Gaultier is just one of many she’s leaning on to create some showstoppers. Also on the list – Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney -just to name a few. She’s also planning to hire up-and-coming designers to create some original looks so fans can expect PLENTY of costume changes. Her iconic Gaultier cone bra is already getting revamped for the tour. If her bleached eyebrows and gold teeth (above) are any indication- her costumes will be outrageous…

MADONNA: DITCH THE FUR!

Bad idea. Madonna posted a series of sexy photos of herself in heels and what appears to be a real fur coat, captioned “In the Mood for Love” while the Miles Davis song of the same name played. And you know she MEANS it, because she brought out the fishnets. Even her most devoted fans are irate because she is squirming and caressing this fur coat, implying that she has no regard for animals. Fur coats are no longer sexy. Or acceptable. (And it might be a good idea to stop bleaching the eyebrows…)

WHAT BRITNEY AND MADONNA HAVE IN COMMON

Everybody’s heard about Britney Spears teenage sons and their embarrassment because their mother keeps posting sexy – sometimes nude- photos of herself. Britney continues to post the pix and the kids continue to avoid her. Madonna’s oldest offspring are in their 20’s and we haven’t HEARD any complaints from Rocco or Lourdes. Rocco Ritchie just MIGHT have made his feelings known when he abruptly moved to London to live with his father a few years ago. He did not inherit his mother’s naughty sense of style – he loves vintage mid-century tweedy clothes and looks adorable.) Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon went the other way – she’s apparently NOT at all embarrassed by her mother – in fact she’s inspired to follow in mom’s footsteps with naughty photos in skimpy clothing.

RIHANNA HAS COME A LONG WAY, BABY

Rihanna looks ultra-confident as she steps out for an evening in New York. And she should. Rihanna’s only 34 and she’s already the second best-selling female music artist of all time. The FIRST best-selling female happens to be Rihanna’s idol and her biggest influence – Madonna. Rihanna admits she patterned her career after Madonna and it has made her a billionaire. Now she has bypassed Taylor Swift and nabbed the prestigious job of performing at the Super Bowl halftime 2023. She’s come a LONG way since Chris Brown

MADONNA: STILL ON THE PROWL

Madonna is wasting no time in the hunt for a new boyfriend. Dressed to kill as usual, she turned up at the Don’t Worry Darling after-party at the Bowery Hotel. It’s interesting to note that she now carries a small cross-body purse when she goes out clubbing- something she wasn’t in the habit of doing before. Not sure if she arrived with this guy in black, but she left with him, and he looks like her type…

MADONNA’S KIDS LOOK JUST LIKE THEIR FATHERS

Funny, but we never noticed how much Madonna’s two offspring – Lourdes Leon, 25, and Rocco Ritchie, 23, closely resemble their FATHERS- and share very little visible genetic connection with their mother. Lourdes is lucky because her handsome Cuban dad Carlos Leon is 6’2, so at 5’7,” she towers over her petite mother. (Of course it helps her modeling career.) Rocco obviously identifies with his lookalike dad, director Guy Ritchie, and chose to live with him in London for the past few years. Rocco has long had great fashion sense and he’s now an artist. Rocco looks very excited in this photo with Lourdes – they are meeting Madonna at the Tom Ford fashion show in NY and have three seats in the front row awaiting them.

LIKE IT OR NOT: MORE ABOUT MADONNA

In case you didn’t notice, Madonna is all over Paper Magazine’s current issue – she’s pictured partying in a large group of very colorful NY club types – mostly gay. BUT if you look closely she is either kissing, licking, or fondling, one special young guy in most of the pics. Yup, it’s her new 23 year old boyfriend! It makes sense- Madonna has a distinct preference for lanky Latino guys under 30. His name is Andrew Darnell and he’s a working model as well as an accomplished skateboarder. Madonna posted some of their sexy Paper pix online and captioned them “finally enough love.”

MADONNA AND WEIRD AL? NO WAY!

Madonna must be SO flattered right now. It’s HER 80’s image that is being used to promote the new movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. Apparently the image of Daniel Radcliffe, who is starring as Al, is not enough. Evan Rachel Wood is doing a nice take on Madonna in the film and her scenes (including a make-out scene) with Daniel are being widely promoted. Readers are confused – did Madonna and Al have a relationship? Absolutely NOT. They probably never met. This movie is NOT a life story – it’s a complete parody. Al’s character has celebrity affairs, a depraved lifestyle, and lives in a gaudy mansion. The real Al never smoked, drank or even cussed. The confusion is deliberate. Madonna must be answering LOTS of questions about Al today…
